10-3
COMMANDER / EMBASSY
10.1.4 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Various outlets in the motorhome, particularly those
near sinks and water supplies, are connected to a
GFCI which is a very sensitive circuit breaker that will
protect you from electrical shock if a ground fault
develops. If and when this breaker trips, unplug all
appliances on that circuit and press the reset button
on the outlet.
If the GFCI keeps tripping have the problem investi-
gated and repaired by a qualied technician before
using it again.
Depending on the oor plan in your vehicle, you will
nd a GFCI outlet in the bathroom and outside recep-
tacle.
Please note that on some models the GFCI circuit in
the bathroom will trip when a fault occurs at an exte-
rior plug. Both plugs are GFCI protected through the
bathroom circuit. If the exterior plug does not work,
check the bathroom GFCI receptacle.
Fig. 10-4 GFCI OUTLET (TYPICAL)
The GFCI will not completely eliminate all elec-
tric shock. Small children or persons with a heart
condition should be extra cautious and could still
be injured even though protected by a Ground Fault
Interrupter.
